The Jura, an enchanting wine region in eastern France, is renowned for its unique character and exceptional wines. Nestled between Burgundy and Switzerland, this appellation offers a diverse range of terroirs, from steep slopes to limestone soils, all conducive to viticulture. The Jura is famous for its white wines made from the Savagnin grape, including the renowned Vin Jaune, aged under a layer of yeast, which reveals aromas of nuts and spices. The red wines, primarily made from Poulsard and Trousseau, are known for their lightness and finesse.
The continental climate, with mountain influences, allows for a slow ripening of the grapes, preserving great freshness and aromatic complexity. Jura wines have a strong aging potential and delight enthusiasts of natural and authentic wines.
